Notes
Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is a protocol that authenticates the peer of a connection. CHAP is based upon the peers sharing a secret. A secret is a security key that is similar to a password.
Use the chapSecret parameter to set up the security keys for initiators that require a mutual authentication.
